Project 318 g24v college budget :)

[1mz]

yes, the whole deal with the missing crank cap. power-washing was $35 a time - I under shot my revised estimate by around 200-250 dollars

[shiboujin]

tranaction?

how much was power washing?

[1mz]

I'm not saying it was overpriced, i just didn't budget enough, I misunderstood some things... I expected to be able 150% over budget, but not 200%, i didn't foresee the cost of power washing the block twice or the line bore that was a result of the bad transaction

[shiboujin]

for what work exactly? sounds about right to me.

[1mz]

$905

[shiboujin]

what was the total damage?

[1mz]

The good:
- My m50 block looks immaculate
- I could eat off of my head. The valves look amazing
- My pistons, rods and wrist pins are squeaky clean
- The entire rotating assembly - clutch, crank, flywheel, pressure plate, etc. is balanced and ready to be installed

The bad:
- My engine work just took a massive shit all over my nice neat organized budget.

:finger: :curse:

So now its time to make another for sale thread

oh - and did you get your vert fixed up after that accident?

[1mz]

damn steve looks like its going along really well. let me know if you want an extra set of hands I would be happy to help you out. Where are you keeping it while it has no engine?

thanks man - appreciate the offer. I'll definitely need the help once I get closer to dropping the m50 in. I still have to figure out how to put the puzzle together - since i bought the engine in pieces I dont really have any reference to work from lol. The car is out at my dads shore house 30 min south of annapolis in MD, on the West River. its about an hour and fifteen from your place, maybe an hour and a half. Know anyone who wants an m42? :)
